"Very well. You're quite daring, kid! Since you have a death wish, I'll help you out with that! Someone come and break his legs, then feed him to the hounds!" Felton laughed angrily and barked a command at two of his bodyguards. "Yes!" The two guards responded and charged at Leon. "Know your places!" Leon scoffed and was about to counter their attack when Renee beat him to it. "Don't you dare!" Renee's expression darkened and she stepped forward to stand before Leon without hesitation, opening her arms to shield him. The bodyguards were startled. They both knew that they could not afford to offend Renee and had to give up on attacking Leon. The two instantly halted their movements and avoided harming Renee by accident. "Renne, are you sure you want to oppose me for this guy's sake?" Felton's expression darkened and his sharp gaze fell on her. "So what if I do? Hugh is the Morrisons' guest, Felton! If you want to bully him, you must get through me!" Renee said coldly with
"What do you mean it's none of my business? Renee Morrison, you should know that I'm the only one in the western region who deserves you! You're the woman I want and you can only belong to me! Anyone who dares to get in the way will die painfully!" Felton said viciously. Though Renee rejected him many times before, he decided to make her his and would not allow anyone else to obtain her. However, a man as incapable and ordinary as Leon captured her heart and became her boyfriend. Instantly, he was filled with rage and jealousy to the point that he itched to kill Leon. "Why you! Nonsense! Who are you calling your woman? That's enough!" Renee shouted in frustration and helplessness, her face red. Felton's status rivalled with hers and his strength as a martial artist was not something she could match with. Felton might not dare to do anything to her out of concern for the Morrisons' wraith, but she could not do anything to him either. "It's not nonsense! Anyway, get out of th
"Brat, you must have a death wish!" Felton was utterly enraged by Leon's arrogance. Unable to suppress his anger, he reached his arm out and darted toward Leon, intending to destroy him to appease his anger. Renee was still standing in front of Leon at the moment. The Morrisons backed her and he wanted her for himself, so he could not harm her. Hence, he intended to capture Renee first. Without Renee's protection, an ordinary man like Leon would be his to do as he pleased. However, before he could act, he was stopped. "Stop! Mister Fermer, we're all invited here by Mister Feaks to attend this bouquet, not to watch you show off! If you're upset with Miss Morrison's boyfriend, you can settle your scores privately, but please don't ruin this bouquet." Just then, someone scoffed and a man in his thirties stepped forward from the crowd to stop Felton. "Mister Daglesh, what's the meaning of this? Do you intend to protect this lowly man?" Felton's expression darkened as he rec
"Sir, he can't get far. Once the bouquet ends, we can deal with him later," One of the bodyguards whispered into Felton's ear. "Yeah, you're right," Felton agreed with the bodyguard. Leon was merely a lowly scum and he had plenty of chance to deal with Leon after the bouquet. There was no hurry to it. "Mister Fermer, welcome. The bouquet's about to start. Please end this out of respect for me," Jaxon came forward. As the host, he did not want this conflict to affect the bouquet and preferred if the situation could be resolved. "I'll do so out of respect for you, then!" Felton nodded and shot a sharp glance at Leon, scoffing. "Kid, consider yourself lucky. I'll let you off the hook this time since Mister Daglesh and Mister Feaks asked. If this happens again, you won't get away so easily!" "Maybe," Leon snorted casually. He came to this bouquet to purchase rare herbs, not to fight. Since Renee was not his girlfriend, he did not see others as rivals either. Felton alread
Wavering under Leon's sharp gaze, Joshua muttered, "I don't know what you mean, Mister Wolf." Though he was certain that Leon came from a humble background, Leon's gaze still sent chills down his spine and made him feel uneasy. "You better not know what I mean!" Loen scoffed. He could guess what Joshua was plotting, but it was merely speculation. Aside from that, Joshua was Ariella's boyfriend and Loen had a good impression on Ariella. Out of respect for Renee and Ariella, he decided to let this slide. "Damn this kid! How arrogant!" Joshua relaxed once Leon looked away, then snapped out of it. Leon's status could not hold a candle to his. On top of that, he was a capable martial artist, so he had nothing to fear from Leon. At this moment, he realized how cowardly his reaction earlier was. Instantly, he was filled with frustration, but it was too late. Just then, the others' attention was diverted back to the bouquet and they all urged Jaxon, "Alright, Mister Feaks. Ju
"So there are spiritual herbs. They aren't even that expensive," After reading the details and prices for the herbs, Leon nodded with satisfaction. He only came to this bouquet because Renee mentioned they would be selling spiritual herbs, since that was true, his trip was not in vain. Also, he once spent 86 million on a Snow Lotus that grew for five hundred years back in Seacove City. Meanwhile, the Panax that grew for five hundred years here in this bouquet only cost around 30 million. The ordinary spiritual herbs, only cost around 43 million each, which was hardly a huge difference from the price for the Panax. These prices were not expensive and did not exceed his expectations. "Two wild Panax that grew for five hundred years and three spiritual herbs, huh?" Just as Leon contemplated, the others focused mostly on the two wild Panax that grew for five hundred years and three spiritual herbs. Though rare herbs could help martial artists with their training, herbs that o
"Mister Wolf, don't mess with us! These herbs should add up to at least 287 million. A vice president like you can't possibly afford it." Josua was the first to snap out of it. He sneered and glanced at Leon in contempt. Apart from Renee, he and Ariella were the first people to know Leon and they knew about Leon's background. According to what he knew, Leon was just a vice president from a small business in the southern region and was not even a descendant of influential families. With that in mind, he assumed that Leon might not even possess 3 million, let alone hundreds of millions. Yet, Leon claimed that he wanted to purchase all fifteen herbs. This was practically impossible and he refused to believe Leon could accomplish it."That's right!" "Kid, I'm warning you. Suppose you can't afford the herbs, scram. Don't cause trouble here! If you keep this up, we will show you no mercy." ... Realization dawned on the others and they all turned to glare at Leon. They knew
"Who says I can't afford them?" Leon scoffed and was about to continue when Jaxon came down from the stage. "Mister Wolf, you might not be an expert in herbs. There are different types of herbs with different effects. Even if you buy all fifteen of them, they won't all be useful to you. These herbs that have grown for three hundred years work great. If you like them, you can buy one and try how it works on you first," Jaxon said. Though he did not think someone of Leon's status could afford the herbs, he could not insult Leon like the others as he was the host. Moreover, Leon was Renee's boyfriend and with her help, Leon should be able to purchase a three-hundred-year-old herb even if he could not afford the other ones that cost tens of millions. Hence, he recommended the cheaper herbs to Leon and gave him an excuse to give up. So long as Leon accepted it, he would not embarrass himself and Renee. "It's fine. Mister Feaks, I'm interested in them all. Please pack them and calcul
